SIMSTAT for Windows: Simulation and Statistics, ver. 2.5
SIMSTAT is a powerful stat program with a wide range of descriptive statistics,
crosstab, t-test, ANOVA/ANCOVA correlation, linear, nonlinear & multiple regression,
time-series, reliability, bootstrap, etc. SIMSTAT for Windows is an innovative product
that goes beyond mere statistical analysis. It offers output management features not found
in any other program as well as its own scripting language to automate statistical analysis
and to write small applications, interactive tutorials with multimedia capabilities,
and computer assisted interviewing systems.
Statistical features
 | DESCRIPTIVE statistics (mean, variance, standard deviation,
etc.). |
 | FREQUENCY analysis including frequencies table, descriptive
statistics, percentiles table, barchart, pie chart, Pareto chart,
histogram, normal probability plot, box-&-whiskers plot and
cumulative distribution plot. |
 | CROSSTABULATION: normal crosstabulation and INTER-RATERS
AGREEMENT table,nominal statistics (chi-square, Pearson's Phi,
Goodman-Kruskal's Gamma, Contingency coefficient), ordinal statistics
(Kendall's tau-b and tau-c, Pearson's R, symmetric and asymmetric
Somers' D, Dxy and Dyx), inter-raters agreement statistics (percentage
of agreement, Cohen's Kappa, Scott's Pi, Krippendorf's r and
R-bar, free marginal correction for nominal and ordinal measure),
3-D bar chart. |
 | BREAKDOWN analysis with multiple Box-and-Whiskers plot. |
 | MULTIPLE RESPONSES frequency and crosstabulation analysis. |
 | PAIRED AND INDEPENDENT T-TESTS with effect size measures
(r and d), error bar graph, barchart, dual histogram. |
 | ONEWAY ANALYSIS OF VARIANCE with post hoc tests (LSD, Tukey's
HSD, Scheffé's test), effect size measures, error bar
graph, barchart, deviation chart. |
 | GLM ANOVA/ANCOVA (up to 5 factors and covariates) including
detailed ANOVA table, 3 different adjustment methods for unequal
cell sizes (regression, nonexperimental, hierarchical), multiple
regression statistics, test of change of R-Square, regression
equation (B, standard error of B, beta, confidence, interval
of B, zero-order, semi-partial and partial correlations, tolerance
level, F, significance), residuals caseplot with Durbin-Watson
statistic, standardized residuals scatterplot, normal probability
plot of residuals, ability to save predicted and residual values. |

exponential, inverse), regression equation, analysis of variance,
Durbin-Watson statistics, scatterplot, residuals caseplot, standardized
residuals scatterplot, normal probability plot of residuals,

methods (hierarchical entry, forward selection, backward elimination,
stepwise selection, enter all variables), P to enter, P to remove,
and tolerance criteria, ANOVA table, test of change ANOVA table,

remove mean, lag, etc.), auto-correlation diagnostic (ACF and
PACF plot), smoothing techniques (moving average,running median),
control bars with user-specified confidence interval. |
 | SINGLE-CASE EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN analysis with descriptive
statistics, interrupted time-series graph, various graphical
judgmental aids such as smoothing (moving average and running
median), trend lines and control bars. |
